Yes it is planned for this year because this mark the 40 years since I started this project.
But I want to finish a big change with the catalog I am now half the way.

If need it is possible to install the current state of this future version using the beta : https://sourceforge.net/projects/skychart/files/0-beta/
or the daily build : https://vega.ap-i.net/tmp/skychart/

Thank you. However, could you please make a tag in the git repo for each beta version? It's for tracking the upstream source when packaging for Linux distributions. Currently only tarballs of source code could be found and they got deleted shortly after (!!), which makes it non-reproducible.

BTW, where could I find the history of this project? I started to use it from 2.76, but I can't find any info earlier than that now.

About the project history, the old version 2 site is still active.
You can read history 2001-2007 here: http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/oldversion/index.html
and 1997-2001 here: http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/oldversion/history.html
I not have writing record for the previous DOS version 1984-1997.

It look like this work: https://github.com/pchev/skychart/releases/tag/4.3-4866

Note a difference of this source file is it not include the documentation from the wiki.
This only make a difference if you run "make install_doc", with the github source it will start a long download of each file from the wiki.
